What sparked this discussion for me was the lecture of cultural psychology that we had, given by Dr. Marti Hope Gonzales. It's interesting to me how our different cultures; Western and Eastern are so contrasting. I've learn a few...

Interesting article, but to add to the fact that you pointed out here. Do you want to know whats the funny part about it all?..These same people that you described about what they are going through...will be released and moving...

Interesting post. As I was reading your post I couldn't help but think of the movie Unthinkable starring Samuel L Jackson, it deals with this very topic, it's a pretty good film. As far as to torture to just mame...

I cant help but laugh when I picture a Pug and Hunting lol. Could you imagine a Pug with a duck in his mouth running back to his/her owner funny. To answer your question you really can't "prevent" different stimuli...

Good Post! This Idea of beauty that we have in America is manly a westernized idea of beauty. Example, in a lot of countries men love women that are heavier set (it's actually a sign of wealth and vitality), in...

Interesting post. I'm not sure if alcohol can effect someones personality, but I think when a normally introverted person begins to drink alcohol they may inadvertently supply themselves with an placebo effect. Meaning they have an expectation of what alcohol...

Interesting post. It seems that every generation believes something has distracted the youth. Distractions has always been around no matter what era, just in different forms. Just think when you were young your mom or father would tell you to...

It would be interesting research. It would take many years to try and figure out the root cause. I mean prison life has over 100's if not 100's variables alone, without even touching on the GID issue. But it could...

The article was an interesting read I’ve always understood the concept of the “fight or flight” response, but never knew the actual scientific name for it. When I was reading through the article I couldn’t help but think of instances...

I have never heard of this critical window for training dogs before Jacob. Where did you learn about it? It makes sense that some dogs could develop behavior problems if mistreated early in their life. Yet most dogs can be trained to do a variety of behaviors well into their adult life. As you probably know, dogs are perhaps the greatest example of genetic manipulation in the animal world. Humans have selectively bred dogs for thousands of years in order to raise dogs with specific traits. If you want a hunting dog, you might be better off with a lab....

Very interesting and entertaining post to read. I agree much with the fact that you brought up about how introverted people while drinking alcohol become much more sociable. I have a couple family members who are very timid, and shy, however after a couple alcoholic beverages they sure do become the entertainment for the night. Very impressive post....

I really enjoyed reading your article-I actually just completely a research paper on the same topic and focused heavily on the idea of "humane" practices within prisons. In addition to complete solitary confinement, many prisons are overcrowded to double there capacity and this is lowering prison conditions to what some people deem "unconstitutional". In a specific case in California, prisoners actually filed law suits against law officials, citing "cruel and unusual punishment" because of such poor prison conditions. Solitary confinement and long-term sentencing clearly are not working....
